La Estacion

La Estación's meals were absolutely delicious--every bite was bursting with authentic flavors. The corn tortillas transported me back to Mexico; not only was the food outstanding, but the prices were also very reasonable, making it an even better value.The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. We will definitely be back for more! If you're looking for quality Mexican cuisine, La Estación is the place to go. Highly recommend!

We arrived early for a reservation and waited only 3 minutes to be seated.The dining room is decorated with a train theme and looked nice.Our table had chips, salsa, water and dinner menus, but no utensils, napkins nor small plates.We waited 8 minutes for our server and he asked for our drink order however, we had no drink menus.It took awhile to get these menus but we ordered drinks and an order of guacamole which arrived before our drinks.The chips were average and the guacamole was bland.We ordered food and again everything was slow. We had to ask our server for everything at least twice.Food was alright but mostly bland and I had to ask for hot sauce.Our server never asked how our food was and if we needed anything.I watched 2 other servers and like our server, no smile and no warmth.I'm disappointed, I was hoping for more.

What a great place. Historic made Mexican. Plenty of chips and salsa here. Did not feel guilty asking for more. I ordered the mahi mahi tacos. I would swap the jasmine rice with the Mexican next time. The jasmine was still good though. The waitress Sarah was the sweetest! I don't know the last time I have felt that taken care of and more. Cool Outdoor seating area too!

Decided to dine in inside the train for my birthday. Very cool experience! Samantha was our server and she was very attentive the whole time we were there. Food and drinks were great as well. Definitely loved the quiet setting and ambiance inside of this antique train of Waukesha.

I am a big fan of Mexican food and was excited to try this one in a cool location in Waukesha. We had a large group and called ahead to reserve a table. Upon walking in, it was a mix of cleaning products and Mexican food smell. We waited about 10 minutes for a table to be ready, and were sat in the train car. It was nice private area to dine in with a larger group, but it was HOT! Sun was coming in the windows and there was little to no airflow throughout, and only got hotter as we went on. The waiter did turn on some air conditioning unit at the other end of the car, but it didn't do much. The menu is pretty traditional Mexican offering a variety of options, as well as a variety of cocktails. The food came out pretty quick and was enjoyable, but not super impressive. The waiter did not stop by often to refill waters and check on drinks, which was surprising. The bathrooms were not very clean and other parts of the restaurant didnt look very clean. There are areas where they could use some updates, but overall not bad.

The overall ambiance at the restaurant is a lot of fun. Old trains, mexican decor, and the outdoor seating area is wonderfully spacious. The ceilings inside are quite high cause for a lot of echoing. If you are looking for a quiet meal I would avoid sitting inside. Having the old train cars is such a unique feature - it is unfortunate that you are unable to sit inside of them to enjoy your meal. Our service was great! She was friendly and attentive. She asked multiple times throughout the meal if everything was good and if we needed anything. Hot sauce is by request only, it is not on the table and I highly suggest you request some. The sauce is necessary because to food, while good, is bland. We got ground beef chimichangas (they do not come with cheese on top and she did not ask if we wanted it) and steak fajitas. There was not much flavor to either dish. To echo that the rice and beans were also bland. We were given a salsa bowl of hot sauce and used nearly the entire thing.

I loved this adorable use of an old train station and train cars. I heard that you could eat on the cars (not sure if this is true or not, we are in the main station in a beautifully decorated dining room). The food is amazing!!! I had the chicken with poblano mole. It was sooooo good. The guacamole was great as was the fresh salsa (the one that looks like pico. The other one was just kind of a plain tomato sauce that I wasn't impressed with). The flautas were excellent according to my sister and grandmother. There is a great variety as far as beans go. You have options beyond just refried beans and the rice was very good. I had the yellow Spanish rice. I also had the cafe Jalisco (black coffee infused with cinnamon). It is good brewed coffee as far as it goes. I didn't get a big hit of cinnamon as far as that goes and I couldn't tell the difference between the regular coffee and the cafe Jalisco. But they are the same price and it is good coffee. Our waiter was very attentive and he made sure we were taken care of and we had everything we needed. Also, the soups were very good. They come in huge bowls. The one my dad tried had four pieces of chicken and the caldo de res (beef soup) was also very good. There was so much that there was plenty to take home. I was pleasantly surprised to find the high quality Mexican food in Waukesha. I would absolutely go back and I would love to maybe be seated in one of the cars if that is permitted.

I liked this restaurant. We were there for my mother's 90 th birthday. Everyone like their food the only issue was not the best service. Did not remove dirty plates forgot coffee etc. our waiter was just not hardly there.

Stopped here for Father's Day for a late lunch/early dinner. Got the birria quesadillas which were on special that day - they were delicious. In our group we also got the enchiladas and chicken fajitas which were so good. Outside patio is always nice. Food didn't take too long to come out, but we also dined at a slower time.

La Estacion is our go to restaurant for Mexican! The food is delicious and the staff is amazing!
